Chapter 178: That’s it?
Jiang Yao looked at the gatekeeper beast and stammered, "I summoned you just to see your heroic and massive body, to shock a mortal like me. I, an ignorant mortal, also want to admire the legendary and powerful gatekeeper beast."
The gatekeeper narrowed its eyes. "Oh? You admire me?"
"Yeah yeah."
Looking at the slowly retreating gatekeeper beast, Jiang Yao felt that these mythical beasts all had a common problem: they couldn't stand being praised, and their tails would be raised to the sky if praised.
"You are quite perceptive. You realize that my Gatekeeper Beast is the most powerful divine beast in the world."
Yue Jian was irritated by this: "You are the most powerful beast in the world? What nonsense are you bragging about?"
Jiang Yao quickly held the egg in his arms and covered the crack tightly, as if it was its mouth.
The force was so great that it almost crushed the egg.
"Haha, it's just joking. It's just an egg. It doesn't understand anything."
"I don't understand? Jiang Yao, that's not what you said when you asked me to summon the gate beast for you."
"Just shut up." Jiang Yao lowered his voice, "You said you don't even have any spiritual power left. If we fight hard, how can you protect me when you can't even protect your balls?"
"I can just protect myself, why should I protect you?"
Jiang Yao's mouth twitched. Listen, this is her contracted beast, and it speaks human language.
She decisively let go of his hand: "Alright, since you are so ruthless, go ahead and fight it. I won't stop you."
The egg calmed down and floated behind her.
Jiang Yao snorted, turned to look at the gatekeeper beast, a smile on his face.
"Brother Gatekeeper, we summoned you to exchange something with you."
"What's in exchange?"
Jiang Yao heard the calmness in the gatekeeper beast's tone and seemed to be uninterested.
She had only read in a book that the gatekeeper beast held a wedding banquet, and she didn't know whether it was true or not.
Jiang Yao quickly squatted down and took out Hundred Days Drunk from his bag.
"I heard you like good wine."
After saying that, he opened the cork of the bottle.
The gatekeeper beast's eyes, which had originally shown no interest, instantly locked onto the wine bottle in her hand, and its eyes were filled with joy.
"Is this the Hundred Days of Drunkenness of the Anan tribe?"
"You know?"
"Of course I know. Many years ago, the ancestors of the Anan tribe exchanged the Hundred Days Drunk from me for the Anan tribe. This is a good thing. I haven't smelled it in years."
The Anan tribe had also changed? Jiang Yao became more confident.
"Then, big brother Gatekeeper, can you switch with me too?"
"What do you want?"
"Yours." Jiang Yao looked at it and carefully pointed behind its ears: "Scales."
The gatekeeper's pupils shrank, and his gaze shifted from Bairizui to her: "What do you want?"
Jiang Yao felt the oppressive feeling, but she had already come to this point. Although the divine beast in front of her was similar to a demon beast, at least she could still communicate with it. She could try to communicate with it properly.
"I want to trade my Hundred Days of Drunk for one of your scales."
The gatekeeper beast snorted excitedly, "You want my scales? Mortal, do you know how painful it is to take my scales? How dare you ask me for my scales?"
Jiang Yao was terrified: "But...but didn't you say that the Anan tribe had been exchanged with you?"
"The Anan tribe spent a full hundred jars of Hundred Days Drunk to win over the Anan tribe."
The implication is that her jar is too small.
"But I don't want much. I just want a scale."
Compared to the Anan tribe, a scale is considered small.
The gatekeeper beast suddenly raised its claws and snatched the Hundred Days Drunk from Jiang Yao's hand: "I'll take the wine, but this is too little for you. Forget about the scales."
"Wait a moment."
Jiang Yao had already prepared for the possibility of being robbed, so he was not prepared at all and allowed the gatekeeper beast to take it away.
She is a human being, how could she be more cunning than a divine beast with strong limbs and a simple mind?
"I can make this Hundred Days Drunk even stronger. One bottle is as powerful as ten."
The gatekeeper beast was indeed interested: "Can you do it?"
"I can do it if I say it."
"Then change for me."
The gatekeeper beast casually handed the wine to her.
"But you have to give me the scales first."
The gatekeeper narrowed his eyes: "Hmm?"
The heavy exhalation sound was filled with anger.
I guess it has never experienced a mortal bargaining with it.
Jiang Yaoxin suddenly became determined. The wine had been stolen, and she had to get the scales today no matter what. She could refuse to exchange them, but she was not someone who could be bullied.
"Give me the scales, and I'll immediately make your wine ten times stronger."
"Mortal, do you know who you are bargaining with?"
"But you stole my Hundred Days Drunk. Why bother stealing my things if you don't plan to exchange them with me?"
"Just a mere mortal."
"Besides, my friend is the chief of the Anan tribe. If you like it, just let me know and I'll give it to you next time. But you insisted on snatching it. Can't there be some basic trust between humans and beasts?"
The Gatemon was stunned, squinting his eyes as if thinking about what she said.
"You said you know the chief of the Anan tribe?"
"Yes, he's Lan Tuo. I also know his son Lan Ke."
"Anan tribe." The gatekeeper murmured, "I think the last name is Lan?"
"If you don't want to change, I'll give you this Hundred Days Drunk as a gift, but I won't come again next time. You're so ungrateful, I won't be a sucker and keep giving you the money."
After Jiang Yao finished speaking, he felt a little angry and wanted to leave.
The gatekeeper beast was a little anxious: "Don't go, don't go, don't go. We can talk it over."
"Unless you give me scales, there's no room for negotiation."
"Scales, right? I'll give them to you."
The gatekeeper beast didn't even blink, a scale on its neck fell off, and it ran in front of Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yao has another understanding of the divine beast, which is that it tells lies all the time. Yue Jian lies, and this gatekeeper beast also lies.
I just said that it hurts when the scales are pulled out, but it looks so relaxed, as if it were just plucking a hair.
Jiang Yao quickly put the scales away.
"I'll give you the scales. Remember to come and give me Hundred Days Drunk later."
"Um."
Jiang Yao agreed absentmindedly, but thought to herself, why would she let it trick her? She's not stupid.
The Gatekeeper Beast let the Hundred Days Drunk float over again: "Also, you promised me to make this stronger."
"Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised."
After returning from the Anan tribe, she studied the Hundred Days Wine, which had a very high alcohol content. Out of boredom, she even made a few pills to increase the alcohol concentration. She brought them with her when she came, and she didn't expect them to come in handy.
Jiang Yao took out the bottle from his bag, poured out the pills and put them into the Hundred Days Drunk.
"alright."
"that's all?"
"that's all."
The gatekeeper beast was very unconvinced, so he took the bottle and sniffed it, and it was indeed much stronger.
“It’s true.”
The beast's eyes were fixed on Jiang Yao's medicine bottle: "Do you have any more?"
Jiang Yao's mouth twitched, and he turned the medicine bottle over: "No more."
She was just taking precautions, so naturally she wouldn't carry so many with her, so she only had one.
